Steps to reproduce:
1. Start FVWM2 or some other non-KDE windowmanager, preferably not Xfce or Gnome, since I think they start their own sound-systems
2. Start the konsole-application belonging to kde4 (/usr/lib/kde4/bin/konsole)
3. type "cd", space, tab
4. Now, konsole wishes to play a "beep", but it seems like it needs to start the sound-system, and this takes some time. The result is that the konsole becomes completely unresponsive for a while.
5. In my case, the entire konsole-window also went black, since I switched to another desktop and back, and konsole was busy with other things than redrawing the window.
